### Intro []

liver is one of the most important organs of the body performing numerous vital functions like digestion metabolism storage detoxification and production of various essential compounds required by the body fatty liver scientifically known as hepatic steatosis occurs when there is an abnormal accumulation of triglycerides and other fats within liver cells a healthy high functioning liver contains a small amount of fat which is normal but fat build up becomes a problem when it reaches over 5% of your liver's weight liver is a vital organ responsible for processing and Metabolism of fats in the body however when the influx of fats exceeds the liver's capacity for metabolizing them lipids accumulate within the liver cells resulting in the development of a fatty liver disease has become a global Health concern affecting over 25% of adults worldwide making it one of the most prevalent liver conditions in the world when fatty liver develops in someone who drinks a lot of alcohol it's known as alcoholic fatty liver disease when it develops in someone who doesn't drink a lot of alcohol it's known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or nld usually both alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease presents similarly however problems arise because fatty liver doesn't produce much symptoms in the early stages so by the time the patient usually develops symptoms the condition has already progressed that's why it becomes very important to stay alert and note the early signs of development of this condition so let's talk about seven signs and symptoms that may indicate that you have an underlying fatty liver disease number one vague

### vague generalized symptoms [1:44]

generalized symptoms in the initial phases a patient with fatty liver will develop generalized symptoms like feeling tired all the time loss of appetite nausea and abdominal pain now the liver is located on the right side of the abdomen and the discomfort comt arises as liver swells up a bit with the accumulation of excess fat this pain can vary from mild to more noticeable serving as an early indication of potential liver distress now the liver plays a crucial role in digestion by producing bile which AIDS in breaking down fats but when the fatty liver disease sets in this process can be disrupted leading to a loss of appetite also the liver's inability to release sufficient bile hinders the absorption of essential nutrients like vitamins and antioxidants this deficiency can leave individuals feeling fatigued and sluggish all the time number two

### jaundice [2:38]

jaundice is a condition characterized by the yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes known as Scara this yellow discoloration results from the accumulation of B Rubin Under the Skin a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells bilirubin is typically processed by the liver and excr created in the bile in the presence of fatty liver disease the liver's efficiency in handling bil Rubin is compromised this can be due to inflammation cellular damage or impaired liver function associated with the accumulation of fat within the liver cells number three dark urin like we

### dark urine [3:14]

discussed earlier that liver is important for the breakdown and Metabolism of bobin so when the liver doesn't function properly due to fatty liver disease the bilirubin that builds up in the blood also gets excreted in the urine causing it to turn dark this condition is called bilirubin Uria and can manifest as urine that's dark brown Amber or even Cola colored however it's crucial to remember that many other factors can cause dark urine including most commonly dehydration certain medications vitamins supplements and even some foods so it's very non-specific sign of fatty liver but when present with other symptoms like jaundice or abdominal pain or itching it can be a vital symptom in the diagnosis of a fatty liver number four right shoulder pain if

### right shoulder pain [4:05]

your right shoulder neck jaw or under the shoulder blade feels painful or tight it might be linked to a fatty liver now like we discussed the liver produces bile a liquid that helps to digest fats from food like meat and olive oil when the liver gets too fatty the bile becomes thicker and trapped causing the liver and gallbladder to swell and get inflamed this swelling puts pressure on the frenic nerve on the right side leading to pain in the upper back and neck muscles this is known as referred pain happens when the actual source of pain is in one area but the discomfort is felt in another unrelated location understanding this connection shows how a fatty liver can be related to discomfort in other parts of the body number five spider angomas

### spider angomas [4:56]

individuals experiencing liver damage exhibit elevated estrogen levels as a liver struggles to effectively filter out this Surplus hormone this heightened estrogen presence can contribute to vascular weakening throughout the body leading to the formation of small spider veins on the skin these spider veins typically display a central Red Dot surrounded by reddish extensions emanating from the middle number six

### gynecomastia [5:24]

gynecomastia breast enlargement in men also known as gyom occurs due to an imbalance between the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone as most of you know the levels of hormone testosterone are much higher in men as compared to estrogen but due to fatty liver disease the liver is unable to metabolize estrogen like we discussed earlier in this video so due to this the estrogen levels in the body rise and lead to many problems and one of the most common of them is breast enlargement in men also known as gomasa another reason why fatty liver disase disease leads to gynocomastia is that the liver is also responsible for the production of certain proteins known as globulins which keep these hormones in a bounce state in the blood so when the liver function gets down due to fatty liver disease excess of these hormones become free due to which they get activated number seven generalized

### generalized itching of skin [6:20]

itching of skin itchy skin or puitis is also associated with fatty liver disease as a liver struggles to process fats efficiently it can lead to a buildup of bile salts in the bloodstream this accumulation along with the changes in the balance of certain chemicals contributes to itching Sensations on the skin the impaired liver function can cause bile to leech out and accumulate Under the Skin triggering a histamine reaction that induces itching the palms of hands and soles of the feet are the common areas that get affected by this problem so these were seven signs that can indicate that you have an underlying fatty liver disease if you have any of the symptoms make sure to subscribe to our Channel because in future we'll be uploading a video in which we'll discuss how we can treat or manage the fatty liver disease condition if you like our videos make sure to support us on
